Nile Crocodile

The Nile Crocodile is the second largest living reptile, second only to the
saltwater crocodile in size. They may reach lengths in excess of 20 feet and
may weigh over 1500 pounds. Like all crocodiles, they are designed for an
aquatic environment, possessing clear eyelids that enable them to see
underwater, flaps of skin that keep water out of their throat and ears, and
webbed rear feet that aid in swimming.  They are cold-blooded. After basking
in the sun, they must return to the water to cool off.  These crocodiles often
lie with its mouth open to release excess heat, allowing crocodile birds to
wander in and out of their mouths, picking food and parasites from their
teeth. Nile Crocodiles are found in freshwater rivers, lakes and waterholes
throughout sub-Sahara Africa.
